Outpatient hypertension

White coat hypertension (English name: white coat hypertension; alias: white coat hypertension) means that when some people go to the hospital for treatment, the blood pressure rises when the blood pressure is measured in the doctor's office, but they return to their own home to measure the blood pressure or the 24-hour dynamics. Blood pressure is normal (when the patient carries a blood pressure measuring device without the presence of medical staff). This is because the patient is nervous when he sees the doctor in a white coat, and catecholamines that make the heart beat faster will appear in the blood. At the same time, some blood vessels will be constricted and peripheral resistance will be increased, which will cause blood pressure to rise. In the past, this "white coat hypertension" was thought to be just stressful, and my blood pressure was still normal. Studies have now found that this "white coat hypertension" may be an intermediate state between normal blood pressure and marked persistent hypertension. Because the hypertension of the early hypertension patients has the characteristics of fluctuations, high blood pressure and normal alternation can occur, so this "white coat hypertension" should be strengthened for follow-up observation.
